Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 434075

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

I am running on Ubuntu 5.10.

I am following the instructions on the MDC page above. I got the error below. When I changed the client.mk file, and changed "autoconf-2.13" to "autoconfi2.13", it worked fine. Looking at the autoconf man page to see how the mapping works, I do not see a reason we would need to specify "autoconf-2.13". Is there a reason?

It would be trivial, but I could submit a patch if it is desired.

$ !make
make -f client.mk build

There is a note that helps on fix this in the configure section of:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Source_Code_(Mercurial)

The page at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Fennec did not include this information. I have added it. Where else should this be documented? Or can the need to document this issue be eliminated?

It's named differently on different platforms/operating systems, so no one value will catch everyone. Bug 434075 will have us try several different variations before failing.
